Dolph and Family, I knew your mom, Doris, when I worked with your father, Adolph, at Obaugh Ford in the 1970's. I met her a few times and knew her to be a beautiful and super nice lady. I am so sorry for your loss and just wanted to let you know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow. God Bless,

I've known Doris and done her hair for so many years. I'm in Memphis Tn. on vacation. I can't help but think if Doris knew I was out of town she would have waited for me to do her hair one more time!!! for a long time, I will think of her every Friday at her regular appt. time. Doris was so proud of her new apartment and seemed so happy there, I wish she'd had more time. I loved knowing her and will miss her so very much. She was truly good to me and will miss her wisdom and character. My thoughts are with you her family and friends, especially Billie.
